DBOX eNASCAR International iRacing Series powered by Digital Motorsports Race Preview: Zolder

The DBOX eNASCAR International iRacing Series powered by Digital Motorsports, the premier virtual series for NASCAR’s fleet of top international racers, heads to Belgium’s Circuit Zolder for its penultimate round of the season on Tuesday night. Coverage kicks off at www.eNASCAR.com/live at 6PM ET, with top drivers from the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, NASCAR Pinty’s Series, NASCAR Mexico Series, and NASCAR Drive for Diversity program doing battle.

After Ryan Vargas’ win on the Daytona International Speedway oval on a unique Sunday morning round as a part of the ADAC SimRacing Expo, the series returns both to a road course and its normal Tuesday night slot at Zolder. The 2.492-mile road course has a longstanding history of hosting everything from major national open-wheel and sports car races to the Belgian Grand Prix, and has welcomed the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series since 2015.

As a result, Zolder has been a mainstay of eNASCAR’s International efforts, hosting the third round of the previous season in January. That race saw Alon Day, who also holds the real-world stock car track record at Zolder, win his second round in a row. Canadian Tire runner-up Paul Jouffreau and Las Vegas winner Victor Barrales Jr. will look to improve on their third and fourth place finishes from January in hopes of catching points leader Treyten Lapcevich, who has one win and no finishes worse than sixth so far this season, but was 10th last time the series visited Zolder.
